I've always wondered why aluminum production requires large quantities of electricity. Can't they use natural gas for heat?

Anyhow, I don't follow the Green New Deal since I don't follow the news, but the tidbits I do see make it clear that it's DOA. It's a race to the bottom of bad ideas, and they'll end up eating their own. Wanting to tear out hydro plants is an example of this. You'll finally get someone saying we should make it illegal to procreate and the bottom will fall out of this movement that history will quickly forget.
